Burrowguard Mentor + Cottontail Caretaker
Cottontail Caretaker OffspringThis is about an interaction with Burrowguard Mentor. When the offspring mechanic is put onto the Burrowguard Mentor in hand by Cottontail Caretaker, and then the Burrowguard Mentor creature spell is cast with offspring 1, the produced token only has Trample, but not “+1/+1 for each creature you control.” As far as I can tell, every other card I've used Cottontail Caretaker with copies the entire card text, not just one keyword. Is this a bug?

No, not a bug. Since that ability is a characteristic defining ability, it is not copied if the copy effect sets the defined characteristic to a particular value. Which offspring does.
Also note, that getting +1/+1 for each other creature you control is not the same as getting p/t equal to the number of creature you control. The former WOULD apply to an offspring token, the later does not.
